DreamWatch Total Sci Fi posted a new interview with Battlestar Galactica actor Michael Hogan (Colonel Tigh) and here are few excerpts (beware of minor spoilers)
The first half of season four ends on another cliffhanger. Any hints on where the story goes from there?
I can't say too much, but I can say it ends. You know, over the years when we first started doing this, I myself told them my passion as an actor is doing different things. And this has been one long five-year movie.
I've said to Ron [Moore] a few times over the shooting, "You said at the beginning of the show there's going to be a beginning, a middle and an end. Are you going to stick to that?" And he's replied, "Yeah, we definitely intend that it finishes." Even though the network is putting on great pressure because, you know, it's a money making thing; it's a licence to print money.
I think it's pretty nervy of the network to let them pull the plug before the mandate is over, because we all have a year left on our options. But the story of Battlestar will soon be over.
But [the Battlestar TV movie that will follow the final season] The Plan is one of those things where you go, "Wow, they've got this huge movie now." So even though they're not going to go beyond this end point, they can go back to a lot of different places and shoot stories within that.
But as far as you know The Plan is going to be the last TV movie?
Yes, that's as far as I know. There are no rumours of any new films coming out. The rumours were gone when they tore the sets down.
It was amazing to go and stand and watch the sets come down, the CIC [Combat Information Centre, or the bridge] especially. You don't realize how much a part of the fabric of your life this show has become until you wander into the studio and see it halfway torn down. There are just the steel girders in half of the CIC there now. So, they're not going to go back and shoot a movie in the CIC. Tigh's quarters are gone, Adama's quarters are gone, all those great sets are gone.
